The following is a courtroom exchange between a defense attorney and a farmer with a bodily injury claim. It came from a Houston, Texas insurance agent.

Attorney:“At the scene of the accident, did you tell the constable you had never felt better in your life?”

Farmer:“That’s right.”

Attorney:“Well, then, how is it that you are now claiming you were seriously injured when my client’s auto hit your wagon?”

Farmer:“When the constable arrived, he went over to my horse, who had a broken leg, and shot him. Then he went over to Rover, my dog, who was all banged up, and shot him. When he asked me how I felt, I just thought under the circumstances, it was a wise choice of words to say I’ve never felt better in my life”.
